Rajiv Gandhi assassination : Who made and supplied the bomb ? SC asks Centre

New Delhi, Aug 17 (IBNS): The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Centre to furnish an explanation regarding the progress of investigation into the conspiracy behind making and supplying the bomb that killed former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, media reports said.

"Who made and supplied the bomb that killed former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1991", asked a SC bench led by Justice Ranjan Gogoi.

Rajiv was killed on May 21, 1991 when a woman suicide bomber triggered the bomb strapped around her body in a belt.

The Court on Thursday sought to know the progress of investigation done by the Multi Disciplinary Monitoring Agency (MDMA).

The bench asked advocate PK Dey, who appeared for the MDMA, to submit in court a report on re-investigation or further investigation into the conspiracy of making the bomb.

The issue came up after advocate Gopal Sankarnarayan flagged the point that there was no clarification in the MDMA reports as to how the bomb was made, who made it and how it was supplied.
